Editing Memorization (section)

=== Active recall ===

[[Active recall]] is a learning method that exploits the [[testing effect]] − the fact that memorization is more efficient when some time is devoted to actively retrieving the to-be-learned information through testing with proper feedback. [[Flashcard]]s are a practical application of active recall. Another method for memorization is via the 'SURF' process (SURF is an acronym standing for: spotting 'Sonic patterns', 'Understanding' the text, 'Repetition/Recall/Rehearsal', 'Familiarity') which uses specific cyclic forms of active recall to, for instance, memorize poems for public performance.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nawe.co.uk/Private/42170/Live/Writing-in-Education-63.pdf|title=Special Issue on Poetry, Memory and Performance|website=nawe.co.uk|accessdate=25 May 2021}}</ref><ref>''Writing in Education'' [National Association of Writers in Education], issue 63, summer 2014, p.49.
